Did you know?KANEDAAAAAA!!!
K9999 is in many ways (read: every way) a homage to Tetsuo Shima, a main character from the anime/manga AKIRA. The two characters even share the same voice actor (Nozomu Sasaki). It is widely suspected this connection led to K9999's replacement by the head-swap Nameless in KoF'02 Ultimate Match.
